Olympic Games and Chinese Language

2008 is here. Our country has been fighting for many years. In 2004, the Olympic Organizing Committee finally agreed to host the Olympic Games in our capital in 2008, so we must cherish this opportunity. It's time to remove the typo...

If there is a typo on the Olympic tickets, foreigners will think that the Chinese are too careless and dare not eat China's delicious food and delicious high-end cuisine.

If there is a typo on the advertisement, it doesn’t matter to us, but it is very important to foreigners, because they will think that we

China invented high-tech products. Technology products are all lies. So we must correct the typos!

If... In order to welcome the Olympic Games, we must correct the typos!

One of the Olympic posters on Chang'an Street in Beijing is about traffic rules. It says: It is forbidden to forcefully pass through railway crossings. You should stop and look around to ensure safety. In fact, the word "Liao" is a typo. The word "Liao" is the word "Liao" in Xuanluan. Lookout should be "了" or "了". Beijing is a capital and a gathering point of Chinese culture. I wonder if Beijingers have noticed this typo.

Mr. Ding, who lives in Xizhong Garden: There are two typos on the newly installed Beijing Olympics propaganda board.

Yesterday I was walking on the BAC Road, where some new introductions about previous Olympic Games and the Beijing Olympic Games have recently been set up. I was very interested, so I took a second look. When I saw our Beijing Second Olympic Games, When the emblem of the 19th Olympic Games was "Sealed by China", I found that there were two typos in the small characters at the bottom. The "emblem" of "emblem" was mistakenly written as "微", and the "session" of "the 29th Olympic Games" was mistakenly written as " world,” which surprised me.

The font is not big, so not many people may care about it, but I think this mistake should not be made, so I’d better change it quickly!

Typos suddenly appeared in Andy Lau’s Olympic MV! In the lyrics, Andy Lau sings "There is no need to worry about self-pity and self-pity." In the lyrics, the word "爱" is pronounced as "ai", and the correct pronunciation should be "yi"

With the Olympics around the corner, all kinds of provocations are coming... Operation "Woodpecker", which used incorrect language and environment terms, was also launched one after another. Andy Lau recently encountered such a "woodpecker".

A fan posted on a forum the day before yesterday: "Today I watched Andy Lau's song "Everyone is NO.1" for the 2008 Paralympic Games for the first time. It took two days to watch the behind-the-scenes, and it was made very quickly. He was wearing a prosthetic leg and acted very seriously and very hard. It can be seen that he cares for the disabled. However, there is an idiom of "self-pity" in the lyrics. "When he sang, the pronunciation was 'self-pity and self-ai (four tones of ai)', but in the Xinhua Idiom Dictionary it is written that the correct pronunciation of 'ai' in this word should be (four tones of yi)." Later, the fans responded. Wa Jai ??made a series of thorns, pointing out that he pronounced "executioner" as "chopstick hand" in "Sleet".

Although most fans believe that this mistake is just a flaw, Andy said through his assistant yesterday that he has negotiated with the record company to replace the correct version, and has contacted major TV stations and radio stations. At the same time, he hopes that Fans will cooperate with the supervision and if any wrong version is found to be played, he will correct it immediately.

The reporter learned that Andy Lau took it seriously when he learned that some netizens criticized him for singing incorrectly. He immediately went back to look up the dictionary and saw that he could pronounce "ai" and "yi". He also called and asked many questions. people. When he learned that in the idiom "self-pity", the word "爱" is pronounced "yi", Andy suddenly realized it. He revealed that he was actually not sure before and had already recorded two versions in advance. He also thanked the fans for improving his Mandarin proficiency.

Yesterday, Ms. Liu called the hotline 6774488 of this newspaper (Note: Guizhou Metropolis Daily) to report that on the Olympic knowledge posters hanging on both sides of the underground passage of the fountain, all the words "torch" were printed as " Fire Cabinet".

The reporter rushed to the underground passage and saw a lot of posters about the Olympic Games hanging on both sides, introducing in detail the holdings of the previous Olympic Games from 1896 to 2000. Among them, 15 posters with torches were in the shape of a torch. The word "torch" was all printed as "fire cabinet" (pictured).

Ms. Liu said that such a mistake would have a particularly bad impact in such a prosperous area. Subsequently, the reporter called the advertising company responsible for printing. The other party said that he had not noticed it, but said that he would immediately send someone to the site to check. If there is such an error, it will be replaced as soon as possible.

In today's noon news 30 minutes, in the country's congratulatory message to congratulate the successful Olympic torch relay on Mount Everest, there was a typo: "keep up the good work" instead of "keep up the good work". This should be able to be proofread. Wrong It shouldn’t be!!!

Let us, together with Fuwa, welcome the Olympic Games, step into the "sunshine", and move toward tomorrow!

6. Logo evaluation

Example 6 (Yangzhou, Jiangsu, 2007) Chinese characters have a unique charm that other characters do not have. For example, the emblem of the 2008 Beijing Olympics was designed using Chinese character elements. The main pattern is transformed from the Chinese character "京" in Beijing. The picture below is the logo of a certain sports event. Please tell me its beauty.

Finally, put this information into Put them together to appreciate its beauty.

(As long as the meaning is correct)

7. Torch Relay Explanation

Example 8 (Nantong, Jiangsu, 2007) According to reports, the world-famous Beijing Olympic Torch Relay will be held in May 2008. Pass through Nantong area. Please reasonably imagine the scene when the Olympic torch enters our city, and provide a passionate commentary for the live broadcast as a TV host. (Requirements: reflect the characteristics of Nantong, the characteristics of the Beijing Olympic torch and the cheerful and warm atmosphere of the delivery site, the language is vivid, fluent, and contagious, no less than 70 words)

Dear audience friends, ____________

____________________________.

Analysis The commentary is "oral literature". It relies on words to describe and narrate things, events or characters to infect the audience or listeners, allowing people to understand the ins and outs and significance of things, thereby achieving a publicity effect. The TV commentary must be consistent with the TV picture. Of course, in addition to having a reasonable imagination, you must also closely follow the requirements of the question.

Reference answer The Olympic torch, which shines with the characteristics of Chinese traditional culture and the light of modern science and technology, is coming to us. The burning torch will surely further ignite the enthusiasm of the people of Nantong to build their hometown and make "China's first modern city The longevity, the light of harmony and the beautiful yearning for the future spread throughout the motherland.

Prediction for 2008

"The passion for the Olympic Games is burning in the high school entrance examination, and the pulse of the times is beating in the high school entrance examination." This fully demonstrates the vitality of Chinese language. The 2008 Beijing Olympics will surely set off a new round of Olympic craze. I believe that the 2008 high school entrance examination question types will be more abundant: Olympic news information extraction, situational communication, slogan and advertisement writing, Olympic theme activity design, Olympic chart exploration, Questions such as reading and even writing of Olympic materials may appear; the content of the test will be more extensive: Olympic spirit, Olympic medals, Olympic icons, Olympic songs, Olympics and economy, Olympics and peace, Beijing Olympic concept, Chinese seal, mascots, Olympic slogans, imagination about the Beijing Olympics, interviews with Olympic champions, and investigations into the Olympic situation may all be involved.

For students preparing for next year's high school entrance examination, on the basis of summarizing the 2007 Olympic test questions, they should always pay attention to current news, knowledge background, relevant events, Olympic hot spots, etc. related to the Olympics, so as to be prepared. .
